The CEO Who Hates Me

Arya, Rita and Dean were watching Ryu's interview live at his office.

"Now… all we need to do is wait… Wait for Shawn to be bugged up by that challenge from Big Bro." Dean murmured.

Arya looked at Rita who was a meter away from them, she leaned a little towards Dean and asked in a low tone, enough only for Dean to hear, "Did you tell Rita about everything?"

Dean shook his head in answer and Arya's eyes widened as she said, "Why didn't you? I think she's the best person who can help us in this regard, she's the only person who had known Shawn so well and from such a long time. Moreover, she is the only one in our camp whom he will believe above all..."

"Yeah you're right but Shawn will ask her for sure that from where she got to know the whole story and her sources of information… Then if she tells him that it's all from me... I don't think he would believe all the stuff at that time and all the efforts would not be of any help then. Shawn is someone with trust issues. Any information without some solid evidence is meaningless for him. I can almost imagine him answering Rita that it's just hearsay or a good story made up by the Kens to save their precious names from defamation due to abandonment of the child…" Dean explained.

Then he brushed his hair with his hand and added, "I mean… I would rather have Big Bro solve the thing regarding Shawn's issue and not involve Rita into it as much as possible..."

Arya understood what Dean meant.

He was right…

Besides, she observed that the couple still needs to work things out between them and at this stage expecting Rita to help in this matter can bring difficulties between them as well.

"Hmm… You're right… its better she stays out of this matter… and focus more on realizing what she really feels for you," she said teasingly and giggled when she noticed Dean's ear reddened.

Then she added, "So how's everything going on between you and Rita? Don't hesitate to ask this Sis of yours if you need any help with her. By the way, I think you should practice or familiarize yourself calling Shawn also Big Bro since technically he is your older brother as he is elder than Ryu as well. Hmm… even I shall call him big bro the next time we see each other."

She chuckled at the thought. She couldn't wait to see how Shawn would react if she calls him Big Bro.

How nice it would be to be able to tease Shawn now and then and have him as her Big Brother-In-Law.

After all he is the one who made her meet Ryu and he deserves all the teasing once the matter solves and things cool down between Ryu and Shawn.

Dean scratched his head. It felt awkward calling Shawn big bro, more so when he wished to punch him in his face and beat him to pulp earlier because of his anger towards him for what he had done to his big bro.

The interview of his big bro was doing well and they really hoped things went just as they had anticipated.

Before they came up with this interview, he and Chen requested a meeting with Mountain Peak Production for the intended reality show since they heard that Cooper Entertainment was still considering the project but there was no confirmed finalization yet.

But they were surprised when Mountain Peak informed them that they already signed a contract with Cooper Entertainment the same day for the said project an hour before Mountain Peak had a meeting with them.

It looked like they were lucky enough for that project to start just in time without their involvement because they did not want Old Man Skull to get suspicious about their plan and they wanted to be discreet as much as possible.

"By the way Dean, are you joining too? I see you're sixth on the favourite list. Not bad…" Arya suddenly uttered while she stared at her handsome husband in the television, who looked perfect and poised as he answered the host diligently.

There's no doubt that her hubby was the best and deserved to top that poll. Arya felt so proud of Ryu and felt very blessed that he was her husband.

Meanwhile Dean's mouth twitched. He couldn't accept that he was placed at number six, so low… huh!.

He felt wronged so he answered with an obvious goaded tone, "I know right. I should have been placed at second spot after Big Bro… or at least at third or fourth place in the list... but I don't know what the hell is wrong with the eyes of those voters? Can't they see my perfect body, my handsomeness, my brilliance in business and how beautiful and good my overall physique is? I'm sure that Cooper manipulated the poll because it's his company's project. I bet he wanted to be on top but then it would have been an obvious case of cheating because he can never win when compared with my big bro…"

Arya laughed quietly.

She was totally sure that Dean will be the icebreaker inside the house so she said, "It doesn't matter what your rank in those polls is because I'm sure you are on the top and number one in Rita's eyes."

Then she chuckled and Dean flushed hard.

"Stop teasing me sis… Gosh, why are you bullying me today? Don't you have any shooting today?" Dean complained with pouting lips.

Arya's stomach ached as she suppressed her hard and loud laughter as she looked at Dean's embarrassed expression.

"Alright… I'll stop now, just make sure you join that show and back-up you big brothers…" she said stuttering.

Dean sighed. Yes it was agreed that he will also join the said show.

Then he looked at his arm that was no longer covered with cast.

He wanted to let the cast be in his arm for as many more days as possible however, it was not feasible to do that any longer as his work was getting to much affected so he decided to have it taken off before Ryu's interview.

At least he got to enjoy being pampered by his wife for quite many days.

He sighed once more…

He would think of another trick soon to get his wife's attention and care as he just loved to be pampered by her.

He just hoped Rita wouldn't notice his cunning moves directed to her because he knew how smart his wife was though lately he had noticed that she was often not herself and not as rude and dejected towards him…
